About Chicken Vada Pav Recipe
Chicken Vada Pav is an iconic Indian street food that originated in Maharashtra. It used to be a rather addictive and pocket-friendly snack offered at tea time. Today, people have come up with a couple of iconic recipes that make this dish even more enjoyable.
You can also use a couple of lettuce leaves and the filling can be a combination of mashed potato and minced chicken. It will be even more unique.
Even though Vada Pav is vital, the ingredient which makes the difference is the Garlic Peanut chutney that is applied to the Pav.
All you need to do is – grind all the components with chili powder and salt, and that’s it. If you want it hot, it’s also possible to use a pinch of black pepper and a few red pepper flakes.
During my time in Mumbai, a few years back, I remember that one of my goals was to consume a Vada Pav, which was nearly synonymous with the city. It’s a popular street food which everybody enjoys, with its own hot potato filling wedged between a thick coating of hot chicken and a crispy, chewy, spicy curry filling. With it’s sweet and hot taste, it’s almost just like a combo of two different foods. I truly felt like I needed to go to Mumbai to find the true taste of this delicacy. But when I got the real deal, I realized it had been so much more than what I had imagined and I am so glad I did.
Important Suggestion To Keep In Mind
- To make the Vada Pav, fry the pav in a pan with a little butter, then cut a pavilion (it should be attached to one end).
- All you need is to grind all the components with chili powder and salt, and that’s it. If you want it hot, it is also possible to add a pinch of black pepper and a few red pepper flakes.
- If you want to make the vadas crispy, add cornflour with rice flour in this recipe.
- The consistency of the batter is very important for crispy vadas. It should neither be too thick or flowy. Add water slowly at a time while whisking.
This is a very long recipe and requires some preliminary work, but in my opinion, this is one of the best recipes to make vada pav. This recipe must be taken to heart since it is the longest recipe and also the toughest.
It will be well worth it, however, since it is one of the finest Vada Pav recipes on the Earth, and also the simplest and most delicious.
I like a little spicy flavor, So you can adjust the spice value of the chutney to your taste and add more chili powder based on how hot you want.
